Whonis the best sonic character and why is the right answer Silver
What an odd way to spell Blaze...


For real though, it's nice to see Silver being viewed in a much more positive light, he's been slightly rebranded a bit but a naive time traveller who wants to do the right thing only to be constantly doomed makes for a good character, one that never gives up makes an incredible one, love that little dude

Day 26: Pangoro

I like how Pancham evolves by being around a bad influence, that’s pretty funny.

Doing it a little early tonight because I’m SLEEPY and I’m going to bed as soon as I post this holy ****
One of THE coolest Pokemon introduced in Kalos, full stop.

It's a grizzled, serious Pokemon. It's one you do NOT want to make angry. Yet if you allow yourself to become close to it, it's one of the most loyal Pokemon partners there is.

It's a powerhouse on the field, and it'll do anything for those it cares about, and I MEAN "ANYTHING". It's dark-type for a reason.

And the anti-bullying angle is just the icing on the Pokepuff. As serious and fierce and pragmatic as it is, it's always looking out for the little guy. Any bullies in its presence, much like Drampa, WILL pay.

ALL THIS AND IT'S A PANDA.

Honestly, it's one of the Pokemon I wish was real the most. I think we could all use a Pangoro in our neighborhoods.

The last two episodes of Attack on Titan are gonna be combined to make a 145 minute theatrical film with improved animation.

I dunno if it'll be released over here (November 8 is the date for Japan) but I'm definitely down to watch it again. Some plot points and bits of dialogue from the ending still rub me the wrong way, sure, but the anime certainly pulled its weight in elevating the source material and making it more palatable.

So are we actually getting more Gravity Falls or what’s the deal there
The new Book of Bill just came out, but this seems to be way too much marketing for one book. Not to mention that the book not-so subtly hinted at some sort of Bill return.

Could it be they’re just capitalizing on a beloved series for an aging Gen Z audience? Maybe.

But maybe there’s something new in the works :088:

I'd been fine with Gravity Falls returning even if it was just for a 1 and a half to a 2 hour TV movie.

Even more so now that it's implied that it shares a universe with Amphibia and The Owl House.

tbh gravity falls fans dont deserve a third season after how they acted about mabel
/s but only kinda
B-But... SHE LITERALLY CAUSED THE APOCALYPSE!

ACCIDENTALLY!

WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THE RIFT ACTUALLY WAS BECAUSE FORD INSISTING ON NOT TELLING ANYONE ELSE!

AND TEENAGERS HAVE NO TIME TO GROW AS PEOPLE OR LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES!!1!

Part of me kinda wishes that "Mabel is Terrible" essay video was never made, because I'm convinced that it helped turn what was once genuinely constructive criticism of Mabel's characterization into a far more widespread irrational hatred of her.

I'm really hoping that Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution releases on modern consoles before the physical GBA version arrives, considering that Limited Run Games is saying it might not ship until early next year.

Magic Kingdom is kind of an impenetrable park, you can kind of throw anything at it and it can stick. Because of that it is the quintessential theme park. So many classics and greatest rides of all time there. I am hesitant about the cars stuff though. A lot of Magic Kingdom is just a copy of Disneyland which could absolutely be considered more impenetrable but I have only been there once and I don't know when I will return so Magic Kingdom will always be my favorite.

And with that, this round of Disney posts are done because my vacation is over, I could put a Disney Springs thing here too but all I can say is, That Lego store is magnificent, Brickley my beloved, The Art of Disney store is probably my favorite shop on the property.

Disney World is still a great park but I feel it could be better if things were updated faster

And in terms of the Disney vs Universal stuff, I don't have too much of a horse in this race, I prefer Disney parks overall because I've only ever been to Universal Orlando once and that was 5 years ago. I'd like to go again but I find it even harder to justify. Not being interested in Harry Potter makes it hard. Epic Universe is looking great though just have to see if it sticks the landing.

Out of everything invokes submechanophobia in people, Brickley is the one of the few I kinda don't get.


...Well, actually, I at least kinda get it since it's still a giant sea serpent sculpture sitting in the water and that can invoke a lot of different fears besides that one, but come on, this fella's too friendly looking to be scary!

The giant sea serpent and giant octopi animatronics that sat abandoned in the old 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride for a decade, on the other hand...

I got Scarlet and the DLC to make use of the extra gold coins.

I've beaten Arven and am up to Nemona.

My team is:
Skeledirge
Annihilape
Kingambit
Sandaconda
Gyarados
Kilowattrel

The Kilowattrel is shiny thanks to the mass outbreaks. Annihilape's been the MVP in terms of battles and catching Pokemon.

OK. Why has like... every legacy character in SF6 been recast? It's kind of lame.
you still have Kyle Herbert as Ryu, Peter Beckman as Zangief, Gerald C. Rivers as M. Bison, and Jessica Straus as Juri if that helps

It’s nice that a few of them are still there, and those being ones they kept is particularly nice (especially Gerald C. Rivers as Bison) but it still sucks that so many of them have been replaced.

Day 27: Furfrou

Poor poodle, one of the very few Pokemon that still can't be obtained on the Switch. At least we know that'll change soon, the fates of the elemental monkeys + the patrat line are still unclear.

Kabuki trim is the best one
Furfrou is a super interesting idea to me, and it really adds to the overall aesthetic and appeal to the Kalos region. All its trims are super stylish, and even its base design has a sense of grace to it.

Admittedly I'm more of a chihuahua girly myself in terms of dogs, but nobody agrees with me on that. :4pacman:

I kinda feel like the show ended at a good point and would be more interested in Hirsch doing something new, but I wouldn't say no to more.
